Chapter 1199: The First Snowfall

Latest website: The carrier pigeon flew away, and twenty students who were officials in the county were ready to go.

In addition to the goods they later exchanged with the barbarian merchants, they also brought carrots.

Carrots were planted in the past and the seeds were harvested.

Then use the seeds to plant more carrots in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas. After two years, some of the seeds will be taken back and planted in Guanzhong to eat.

Part of it is sent to Jiangnan Province for planting. In another two years, carrots will be available everywhere in Datang.

Thirteen of the twenty people took over the posts of county magistrates in the thirteen counties listed on the register, and five of them entered the state capital.

They took the army positions in the state capital. If the governor wanted to do anything, he had to go through them.

The last two were responsible for Zhang Jiuling's work in the Shipping Department. Historically, the Shipping Department in the Tang Dynasty was headed by eunuchs.

A few days after the team set out, a moderate rain fell, which turned into light snow in the middle of the night.

"The snow is coming earlier this year." Li Dan ran out after breakfast to find Li Yi who was watching others working.

"Light snow will seal the land, and heavy snow will seal the river. I hope the upper reaches of the Yellow River will freeze."

Li Yi saw the farmers using shovels to shovel the ground, and he felt worried that the weather would be cold.

The canal was built, and Li Yi looked forward to freezing it from the beginning to the source.

After freezing, some ice surfaces are flat and you can run sleds directly.

Some ice surfaces are messy and you can use tools to clear a path.

If the road is not blocked, you can only go around it. Generally, the water flow is very fast in places that are not blocked by ice.

Horses cannot stay on the ice for a long time and need to go ashore to rest on a felt.

"The rain turned to snow and the road was slippery. Are the children still running here today?" Li Dan said about unrelated things.

Princess Yongmu's neighbor Zhuangzi's new home was built and the children went back, but Princess Yongmu didn't want to go back.

So the boy set out in the morning, ran forward, crossed Chang'an City and added some distance, and arrived at Lijiazhuangzi.

Princess Yongmu taught the children, stayed in the village that night, and ran back the next night.

There were carriages following, and some of the children were too young to get on the carriage for a run.

"Someone has been sent to deliver the ice car. They know how to skate the car." Li Yi said with a smile.

He saw a group of children kneeling on the ice cart, with the ice drill digging into the ground and skating this way.

After it rained, there was light snow, and there was a layer of ice on the ground.

The horses pulling the cart next to them would slip occasionally, even if they were shoed.

Li Dan also smiled when he saw it: "Only you can come up with this method."

"It's not that others don't want to, but they are unwilling to do it." Li Yi knew that it was impossible for other people to come here specifically to deliver ice trucks just to help their children.

We don’t have the manpower and material resources to deliver ice trucks, so it’s better to just put the children on the trucks and bring them back.

For children, traveling by car is a difficult journey.

Delivering the ice truck, children will find that today is not only not difficult, but also very interesting.

Turn trouble into joy and the kids will be happy for a long time.

"There's no ice, it can't slide."

When the children entered the village, the ice on the road was shoveled off? The ice truck instantly lost its function.

The older child gave the drill to the younger child and helped pull up the rope on the ice truck and drove away.

Otherwise, they want to slide all the way to the door? Sliding out from the door of the house? It feels unsatisfactory.

Princess Yongmu greeted her with a smile, and went to the cafeteria to eat with the children.

Because they need to exercise, the children only drink a glass of warm water in the morning and run on an empty stomach.

"I? I just accidentally fell over when I was slipping? No, I was afraid!"

Can Qin'er drag the ice cart away by herself? Tell Princess Yongmu about the 'dangerous' things she has experienced.

"Then what?" Princess Yongmu asked with concern.

"Then I got up." Qin'er showed Princess Yongmu her little hands. Sure enough, they were dirty and painful. If they were slapped on the ice, they would feel numb and painful.

"Eat more fried eggs to replenish your body." Princess Yongmu comforted her.

"Yeah! Make up for it!" Qin'er nodded her head in agreement.

Li Dan smiled even more when he heard this, and looked at Li Yi: "Only Li Jia Zhuangzi would ask a first-level Jinshi to do this kind of work."

"First-A is worthless. I don't want to teach more people, otherwise I will still get all first-A."

Li Yi stared at a group of students removing ice, and the two hundred and twenty students who came to the village came back.

They gained a lot, and the people got even more.

When they came back, the people in each village made a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes for each of them.

There is also a piece of cloth with the fingerprints of all the people, which is regarded as the table of the people.

The students put away their clothes and shoes and gave the cloth to Li Yi if they were not going to wear it.

Li Yi specially set aside a row of houses to place things.

When Li Yi wants to find students to teach again in the future, he will show the new students, including the first-class 'certificate'.

Use this to tell the proud and arrogant students, don’t think that you are so powerful in the state capital. You are not good enough, you are far behind.

I, the son of Lijiazhuang, got the first grade in the imperial examination. Everyone has a million people's table and has to do hard labor.

Who are you? You think that your grades are good in the state capital and your literary talent is outstanding, but you can't do it in Zhuangzi.

If you dare to stab him, you will be driven out of Zhuangzi directly.

However, Li Yi believed that no student would be disobedient, and driving him out was not a question of whether he could get Zhuangzi's help.

It is useless to answer all the questions in the imperial examination correctly for people who are not wanted by Li Jia Zhuangzi.

Li Dan rubbed his hands together and put them in his pockets: "This year's greenhouse vegetables will be much cheaper than last year."

"There are more people, but the price still won't drop, even though many rich people grow greenhouses in other states with cold winters."

Li Yi shook his head slightly. Jingzhao Prefecture has a population of more than three million.

There are jobs here, and during the New Year, the number of people eating vegetables increases accordingly.

In the northern region, Jingzhao Prefecture, states in the north, states in the east and west, and even the Jiedushi of Hexi and Longyou.

There are many rich and thoughtful people, and greenhouse vegetable planting adopts fire channels and silk insulation.

The light is not very sufficient and the growth period is slow, but everyone is still willing to plant. If you plant in advance, the light will always accumulate.

From this point of view, the price of greenhouse vegetables should be greatly reduced.

In fact, Jingzhao Prefecture is not good, and other states, it depends on what the greenhouse growers think.

As long as the market is not saturated with vegetables, no one is willing to take the initiative to reduce prices.

For ordinary people, even if the price is reduced by half, they still can't afford it, and continue to eat cabbage, green onions, radishes, dried vegetables, and pickles.

"Henan Prefecture transfers vegetables to Jingzhao Prefecture in winter, can't the price be pushed down?" Li Dan thought of Luoyang, Zhengzhou and other places.

Henan is just as cold in winter, but Henan is the second important place of the capital, and there are many rich people.

They planted new indica rice, which has high grain yields, and planted greenhouses. After deducting the travel expenses, they still make money.

Li Yi looked up at the sky: "While the Yellow River is not frozen now, send the ship to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Yellow River is not used in winter."

"What can be done by sending it?" Li Dan found that Li Yi learned to speak in a jumping way.

"After sending it, things from further south can be transported to Henan Prefecture. Suzhou doesn't have much vegetables in winter, unless it grows greenhouses."

Li Yi didn't consider the price of vegetables. He thought that it was a waste to put the ship on the Yellow River in winter. Where to put it? It will be crushed by ice if thrown into the river.
